The Twilight Tweets

From time to time I’ll post groups of tweets on the regular blog for those of you who like to live your lives in more than 140 characters. Here’s the Twilight Tweets…

So, in order to be wildly irritating to people in the Eastern Time Zones, I started live-blogging Twilight on Twitter as I watched it on PPV the other night (at about 11pm Pacific) I know everyone else either read the books years ago or saw the movie last year, but I’ve been busy and I’m not a fourteen year old girl, so it didn’t have top priority for me. Still…

Watching Twilight on PPV. If I take my own life before the 2nd act does it count as a teen suicide?

Twilight: They really seem to nauseate each other. Is that a thing with the kids?

Twilight: Just met the Dr. SON of the JOKER!

Twilight: My next vamp book EVERYONE is going to have lip gloss on at all times.

Twilight: Ahhhhhhhhhh! What’s all the angst? I have super human powers, so I think I’ll, oh, go to high school. ‘Splain please?

Twilight: Ah, I get it. Indians and vampires are natural enemies. Like pirates and ninjas.

Twilight: OMF zombie jebus on a pogo-stick. I just got to the shiny part. They need to put them on Xmas trees.

Twilight: Edward’s all: I want to kill you. In the BuTT!

Twilight: After an eternity of killing, he’s totally going for second base!

Twilight: Bella: I’m sure of three things. Edward is a vampire. I love him. I have no personality.

Twilight: I love Jasper. Total Scissorhands energy! I thought he was going to hurl on Bella.

Twilight: Edward rocks at tree climbing! He could totally live off of squirrel blood. “It tastes of nuts.”

Twilight: Bella’s going to sacrifice her life at her old dance studio. I’ve been to Phoenix, I always feel that way there.

Excellent commentary! The books are so vapid and the gender roles are right out of the 1950s. Your vampire books are far, far better (and your female character not only has a personality but isn’t obsessed with finding ways to sacrifice herself for her man)! Better writing, better plots, better dialogue, better characters – just plain better!

I have an unhealthy obsession with the books/movies and have for years. But I’ve been an Authorguy fan for longer so you’re allowed to make fun of it.
And yes, Alenka. Totaly Film’s abridged script is hilarious! Best ever

“So wait…was she trying to say that Edward was handsome? And that his hands were, like, marble? The most handsomest, cold, marble that belonged to the most handsome of handsome cold, marble-like handsome gods?”

Wish I could take credit for it, but I saw it somewhere in the comments of an article about Twilight.

Reading this and watching the Twilight/Buffy mashup (I’m sure you can imagine) all in one day was almost too much awesome for me to handle. I need to go laugh at some more Twilight fans now and then pretend I have some semblance of a life/maturity.
